TTP TAKE THE PITCH MLB · PAPER TRIAL

◆ Public paper trial · live since Jul 10, 2026

The discipline is not swinging.

An automated MLB model that grades every signal in public, losses included — and passes on almost everything. It only backs a bet when the price is provably wrong, not when a team is likely to win. Every market it trades must survive 200 measured signals to earn real money — or it gets retired, publicly. Watch it prove itself before a dollar is ever attached.

The daily loop

Four steps, every slate.

The order matters — each step can only kill a bet, never rescue one. Most candidates die at step three, and that's the point.

01 / Fetch

Pull the market

Odds from U.S.-licensed and offshore sportsbooks, snapshotted and timestamped. Nothing is ever estimated or recalled — real prices only.

02 / Scan

Strip the vig

Remove the book's margin, build a consensus baseline, and flag anything priced at least 2% off the number.

03 / Review

Survive reality

Data quality, injuries, correlation, and the best argument against each bet. Weak data forces a pass, not a guess.

04 / Grade

Mark to the close

Every signal is scored against the closing line and settled in public. CLV is the verdict — not short-run wins.

The open ledger

Every signal, left standing.

Once grading begins, this fills automatically — logged price, closing price, CLV, and result for each signal, wins and losses alike. Passing is recorded too, so it's never quietly forgotten.

15279 graded · 9578 measured · avg CLV +0.8% · record 8430–6849–0. Each market runs its own clock to 200 measured signals (graded with a real closing line). Logged price, closing price, CLV, and result for every signal — wins and losses alike, in the order they were graded.

The Notebook

Why we passed.

Not tout content, not "locks of the day." The reasoning behind the model — what a real edge looks like, why discipline beats volume, and the occasional teardown of a bet we didn't make.

This is research tooling, not betting advice, and nothing here guarantees profit. Expected value is a long-run concept and short-run variance dominates. Only bet where it's legal for you, only at legal age, and only with money you can afford to lose.

Questions

Before you follow along.

Are these picks? Will I make money?

No, and no one can honestly promise that. The model finds prices that disagree with the market consensus — a measurable edge — but long-run results depend on execution, limits, and variance. Judge it by closing-line value over many bets, not by any single week.

Why is everything free right now?

Because there's nothing to sell yet. The model is in a public paper trial and hasn't measured enough signals against the close to prove it works. Charging before that would be exactly the kind of forced action the whole system is built to refuse.

What happens when paid access opens?

Founding waitlist members are notified first and lock the launch price permanently. The free public ledger never goes away — transparency is the point, not a teaser.

Why do you pass on almost everything?

Because most prices are efficient. On a typical slate, a few hundred selections get evaluated and only a handful clear the edge bar. "No bet" is a valid and usually preferred output.
